2021 Peugeot Boxer 2.2L Diesel · GL21 AHF

Significant electrical and braking system instability defined the vehicle's mid-life testing period, culminating in a cluster of major failures during the June 2024 inspection. The record shows a rapid transition from a multi-fault failure involving the anti-lock braking system, electronic stability control, and engine management light to a clean pass on 22 July 2025. While the most recent test indicates that the immediate electronic faults were rectified, the presence of multiple major defects in a single inspection highlights a period of critical system failure that necessitated comprehensive diagnostic intervention. Accumulating 112,528 miles over five years results in an average annual usage of approximately 22,506 miles, a figure consistent with intensive commercial deployment. This high-mileage profile places accelerated stress on the drivetrain, suspension geometry, and braking components compared to typical passenger vehicles. Buyers should anticipate that mechanical fatigue is likely present in high-wear items such as wheel bearings, driveshaft joints, and suspension bushings, which are subjected to significantly higher cycles of load and vibration in a heavy-duty van platform. Given the previous failure regarding the ABS and electronic stability control, a thorough test drive is essential to ensure these systems remain fully operational. During the assessment, observe the dashboard for any flickering or persistent warning lights upon ignition and ensure the ABS engages correctly under firm braking on a safe surface. Listen specifically for any grinding or metallic scraping from the rear axle, as the 2024 record flagged thin brake pads and tyre damage. Any pedal judder or lack of stopping consistency should be treated as a potential indicator of lingering issues within the braking hydraulic or sensor circuits. The structural and mechanical integrity of the chassis and running gear should be scrutinized for signs of heavy-duty wear consistent with the vehicle's high mileage. Inspect the rear tyres carefully for uneven tread wear or sidewall damage, as the 2024 advisory noted a nail in the nearside rear tyre. Furthermore, because this vehicle is a commercial platform, check for excessive play in the steering rack and listen for clunks or knocks when traversing uneven road surfaces, as the high-mileage accumulation often leads to premature degradation of ball joints, track rod ends, and anti-roll bar links.
